Seasonality, local products, austerity, harmony with nature, gratitude are values that have inspired our relationship with nature from time immemorial. At Forn de la Llotgeta we believe that traditional food cultures are a great source of knowledge to help us address major sustainability challenges, including the way we experiment our travel experiences. We collaborate with small producers & farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. You will not only enjoy the taste of their passionate and hard work but also have the opportunity to take with you the ingredients and materials used during the workshop for you to replicate the recipes and bring home the authentic taste of Mallorca.
We want to invite you to connect in a deep, sincere and intimate way with our traditional culture to honor local food, producers and artisans who work with love and respect for this island.
Note: Every Sunday and Afternoon the market is closed.

What To Expect
Our cultural approach to cooking will allow you to explore Mallorca’s finest terroir, typical dishes and culinary traditions following family recipes and the island’s food calendar: from key seasonal ingredients to iconic products, all paired with organic wines and a sustainable food ethos. We collaborate with small producers and farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. This experience allows for you to connect in a deep, sincere and immersive way with our culture and honor traditional local food. Located in the center of Palma, Mercado del Olivar is the largest typical market in the city. This stroll will allow you to delve in its vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. We will go through its fruit, fish and other delicacies stall, meet the vendors and source some of the ingredients that we need for our meal. Once in my atelier, we will start a hands-on cooking workshop to prepare a complete Mallorcan seasonal menu together. All the ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced. Please advise of any dietary requirements, we will do our best to accommodate the course to your needs.

5.00Such a wonderful experience and highly recommend during your stay in Palma. We had a tour of the market, our guide was very insightful, friendly and had a wealth of knowledge about food and produce in Mallorca. We cooked some delicious dishes back at the kitchen and learnt a lot about traditional food and cooking. Such a lovely way to spend a day in Palma!

5.00This was a great experience for us. My kids are foodies and love cooking and this was right up their alley. First, the market experience was so interesting. We loved seeing the market and loved the cultural connection. I studied sociology in college and my inner sociology self loved how Deborah connected the food types to the culture and history of the island. When we got to the cooking area we were all blown away. It is absolutely beautiful and so authentic. We loved making the authentic recipes and are so happy we can access the recipes at home. Deborah did a great job of putting us all to work and making us comfortable with what we were doing. I also have to give a shout out to Deborah for being patient with us. My daughter was a little under the weather and had to take some breaks and Deborah was very kind checking to make sure she was OK and if she needed anything. As a travel agent, I will recommend this to all of my clients.
Amazing market tour and cooking class

5.00What an amazing tour! The market tour was so interesting and informative but the tour got even better when we began to cook. What a fun and amazing way to spend our time in Mallorca. The food was incredible. The instruction was so helpful and easy to follow. The kitchen was a relaxed, fun vibe but yet you were learning. Thank you so much Deborah for sharing your expertise with us!

5.00We had a lovely experience with Deborah. The market tour was filled with local information and delicious foods. We then cooked a season meal filled with healthy nutritional items and enjoyed our day. Highly suggest this experience if you want a local boutique perspective.
very poor customer service

1.00Unfortunately we could not make the booked appointment because we could not travel to the island at all. The organizer was not able to postpone our booked date, although we are on the island several times a year. So we were allowed to pay for 2 participants in full and did not get any service for it. Reference is then made to the sole terms and conditions (illness cannot be planned in advance). Customer satisfaction is definitely slightly different!!! No other solution was offered to us.
